Genuine question, why "non-x" (4th paragraph) CPU ? Is there incompatibility issue with EEC or it's just because they are kinda high-end CPU ?

Do you have good brand for RAM in mind ?

Hello there, i’m looking to upgrade my 10 years old NAS/server. I already have the HDD and the case. But i have difficulties to chose motherboard, PSU, CPU & RAM.

So far i’m looking for :

AMD CPU, +12 threads
Because it's already a RAID6 I'm looking for a bunch of SATA ports, maybe a LSI ? Which one ? And 2 NVME slots for the Motherboard.
More than 16GB of ram, IF possible ECC
All of this available in western Europe
I’m aiming for a budget between 600€ and 900€ for those 4 components.

(I do know why i'm aiming at this kind of hardware. But I have stopped being hardware enthusiast like 9 years ago and I really need some help for this)

Have a nice day and a nice weekend :)

(If it's the wrong place to ask for hardware advises I'm sorry)


Edit to reflect questions :

  • 8 SATA ports is a minimum, more is good (that's why i'm looking at LSI)
  • 1Gb/s Network is a minimum, 2.5Gb/s is cool
  • The Motherboard should be at max ATX format, not larger

Have a great day

My current server is 10 years old. I'm self-hosting since ages. I do know what are my needs.

But I also have stopped being hardware enthusiast. I have no idea of actual good brands, models and price range.

I'm not looking help to know what my needs are but to know what can fulfill them in a non money-throwing way.
